The fields span 5,141,000 square meters, and 80% of the payment will be made in cash, while the remaining 20% will be paid in shares within three months after inspection. This acquisition supports the reopening of bromine factories #2 and #10, with production expected to commence in the first half of 2025. The company anticipates improved well drilling and higher utilization levels. The deal also involves investments in flood protection and aims to leverage new opportunities in zinc/bromine and sodium-ion batteries, suggesting future price increases for bromine and crude salt.
